The Big Thompson Canyon is an excellent place to fish due to the extensive number of consistent drainages it connects and the Alva B. Adams Tunnel, which aids flow to the river. Riffles, runs, pools, undercut banks, and backwaters provide endless varieties of water for great trout fishing. Hit the upper Big Thompson to get a snag at greenbacks and rainbows. They are not as plentiful as trout, but are found in the water. Food is plentiful for rainbow and brown trout at the lower Big Thompson making it a great spot for snagging a big one.

They offer half or full day trips. Their guides are patient, trained professionals eager to teach the art of fly fishing. It doesn’t matter if you are new to the sport or a seasoned angler needing a guide to show you some of their favorite spots, they have a lot to offer for all abilities.
